(I finished ‘One For the Money’ last week! It was really good! It got a little rough at times… but everything turned out alright, so I thought it was good!And I’ve started ‘168 Hours: You have More Time Than You Think’ on my e-reader and if I don’t read that I read Cosmo or a wedding mag article everynight!!)

Have I ever mentioned that 13 is my favorite number?! It was my jersey number for every sport in high school! (I played volleyball, basketball and did track & field.)I figured if it was supposed to be unlucky for so many people it had to be lucky for someone!

So… that being said, this has to be a lucky week!!!Fancy This Fridays Edition #13

FYI: It DOES seem to be my lucky week! Our offer was accepted on the house that we want!!! We’re supposed to get a key and be able to start inspection TODAY!!!

Well… Almost sold… haha! Um.. And it’s nothing like that picture… But it’s perfect for us!!!

I am SO excited to become a first time homeowner with my mister!!Hopefully things go smoothly from here and we can be moving in before too long! You can bet there will be LOTS of home improvement posts!!

And soon a HUGE checkmark on my 30 Before 30 list!!Check that out here.

ALSO, I am guest posting over at Vintage Wanna Bee today!!I’m sharing a fun blanket tutorial, in case you wanna check that out!

I’m Monique from Naturally Me Creations and I’m so happy to be here today, doing my first ever guest post! Thank you so much to the lovely sisters who ARE Truly Lovely for including me in their Bloggie Bestie Blog Swap features!

I’m relatively new to blogging, so I look forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with some more crafty peeps from around the world!

Just a few words about me: I live in South Africa, and I’ve always loved making the occasional crafty thing, especially little gifts…but that wasn’t enough to satisfy my crafty side – I wanted to do more, but had no idea what to create! So one day during September 2010, I was surfing the web and somehow came across some crafty blogs. Well, that’s when I got more inspired with ideas, and a few days later, Naturally Me Creations (and her blog) was born! There are still so many crafts that I haven’t even tried my hand at yet, so I’m still learning all the way!

I like recycling or repurposing items into beautiful new creations! I’m a contributor at Going Green Crafters And Artists, which is a blog all about recycled crafts.

I’ve also invented my Totally Handmade Christmas Tree Decorations Pledge – which means that my tree is going to be decorated with nothing but decorations handmade by me! It’s the first year I’ll be doing this, so I’m really looking forward to it! Take the pledge with me and grab my badge on my blog if you’re up for the challenge!

Then I also have a weekend link up party – Who Made What? Weekends! – every weekend from Friday to Sunday, where you can link up any craft that you’ve created, and I’ll be featuring a chosen creation every week! I’d love it if you joined in!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and I’d love to have you over at my blog for a visit! If we don’t know each other yet, please let me know you’ve stopped by – I’ll look forward to visiting your crafty site!

Have a lovely day!!

You can easily put a picture of the item you want to save for inside the box, and watch the money pile up!

Since I’m in home purchasing mode, any cute little home decoration easily catches my eye… Like this lovely Mod Podge tray makeover from Tanya of Make the Best of What’s Around. So bright and cheery!!! Love the blue paint!

And finally… My two girls would love them a new doggie bed. But doggie beds are CRAZY expensive!!! In comes Deanna of Shady Tree Diary‘s homemade dog beds! A huge money saver, but looks like her dogs love them!

Thanks to all you linking lovelies!!! I really enjoy going through (and commenting on) each and every project that is linked up!!

You all amaze me more and more every single week!

For those that were featured, we would love for you to have this button (our new feature button) to share with your readers, so they can come here to see where your project was featured! It links right back to this post, FYI.

Thanks again for linking lovelies!!

Can’t wait to see what you share this week!!!

P.S. I have a FUN announcement coming up here shortly…

*HINT* I’m guest posting at an AMAZING site today!!!
